AUDIENCE: Woo! Woo! (APPLAUSE)
HAKEEM: I want to begin to talk about the power of the spoken word. I want to begin to give us an understanding of what the Bible talks about the power of the spoken word. The Bible says that there is life and death in the power of our tongue. We have to understand that within us we have the ability to change and to shape and to reshape things. A lot of things happen in our lives is because something’s maybe cause when we spoke. Sometimes you know when you’re speaking and sometimes when you’re angry things just come flying out and sometimes it’s hard to get it right back. You know you ever said some things that you didn’t really mean at the time or because you were upset it just came out? And I believe that we have to become stewards and become more conscious of what we speak because we can change things. We can alter things. The Bible allows us to understand if there is life and death in the power of the tongue then that means that we can speak life to a situation or we have the ability to speak death to a situation. I believe that we are in an hour where God is releasing the prophetic anointing and causing the prophetic power to be released through voices. I believe that it’s not for one individual, one person but God is raising up a prophetic people that will carry the Word of God in their mouths. Some of us sometimes don’t even like the way we sound. Some of us may not even like our own voice. Because one voice may be high-pitched. Some voice may be too deep. But God wants to use your unique voice.
AUDIENCE: Yes.
HAKEEM: God wants to use you and be the voice and be the vessel that can bring life to a dead situation. I’m reminded of Ezekiel when Ezekiel, in Ezekiel chapter 37, God sent him and took him up in vision in a place where there was dry and brittle and scattered bones. He took him in a vision and put him in a landscape where there were all these bones. Can you imagine God taking you in a vision and He takes you into a graveyard but there’s no, there’s no tombstones, there’s just bones that are broken and that are scattered. And God was showing Ezekiel this condition of the church or more so of Israel. He wanted to show them something so Ezekiel had to have the heart of God. He had to see the condition. And what God is saying in this hour is He going to show you the conditions of some things. Usually I always say your holy frustration or dissatisfaction is the greatest vehicle that God will use for your ministry! What frustrates you, what angers you, what makes you mad is the area that God is calling you to. Some of us may have even missed the call cause we’re just happy.
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHTER)
HAKEEM: But God is looking for somebody that can be a little angry, angry at what’s going on in the world.
AUDIENCE: Amen!
HAKEEM: Angry at what society is saying. While we’re waiting for society and government to change things but it can be in your mouth. The change that you’re looking for is in you!
AUDIENCE: Amen! (CLAPPING)
HAKEEM: The next move of God is not coming from the world. The next move of God is in you! God put in us treasures in earthen vessels and He has given us purpose and He has given us destiny. But He is allowing us to discover and rediscover what those gifts are. Some of us say you know what? I’m too old right now. I can’t fulfill this call. Well ask Abraham and Sarah.
AUDIENCE: (LAUGHER AND CLAPPING)
HAKEEM: I’m too old. I can’t birth out this ministry or birth out this calling or this business. Well ask Sarah. Sarah laughed at what God placed within her cause she did not believe. I believe that God wants to change our paradigms, change our perspective, change our worldview of how we see ourselves and use the power of the spoken word to change things. And if you want to see change and if you want to see things turn around you have to speak it! He’s put it in our mouths. I like what the scripture says in Hebrews 11, verse 3. It says By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of the invisible, excuse me, the visible. In other words we have to understand that it was faith that caused the world to be framed. In other words we have to understand by faith that God created things into existence. In other words God wanted, God had a picture for your life. But He wanted to frame it so He had to speak it. So He framed your life by what He knows about you. So He had to speak it so by faith we understand that the universe was formed by God’s command. God has placed that same spirit, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead how many of you know this on the inside of you?
AUDIENCE: Yes.
HAKEEM: If that same spirit is on the inside of you then you have the ability and the power by the spoken word to change any situation! It does not matter what the doctor report says. It does not matter what your family or those who may not agree with you says. It’s all about what God says about you and He wants to raise your level of understanding and awareness and see from His lens and see from heaven’s perspective and when we begin to see from heaven’s view what God thinks I believe we can change the world. I believe we can shake the nations! I believe that we can be conduits of God’s glory! I believe there is a supernatural dimension when we speak things! Can you imagine this, even those who are watching, can you imagine if you’ll just speak things into existence then things will begin to start happening! Sickness is only because of ignorance I always say. You know it’s not devils and demons. It’s ignorance! What is robbing the Church is her understanding of who she is.
AUDIENCE: Exactly!
HAKEEM: What’s robbing our, us from moving into the purpose of God and moving into our full potential and to maximize that full potential is ignorance. Sickness, yes it exists. That’s why we need healing agents like you. Poverty exists, yes. But we need those that can speak prosperity. That can speak those things that be not as though they are. And we have the creative ability in the same spirit that resides on the inside of us. And we can create and change our world. It’s biblically it’s supported. Then why are we shutting our mouths? Why are we so silent about things? I believe in this hour God is going to raise up a holy discontentment. He’s going to raise up a holy dissatisfaction where now you’re not going to sit back and just wait for God to do it. God says you know what? I’m waiting on you!
AUDIENCE: Mm.
HAKEEM: We’re praying and asking God to make things happen. And yes He will! He’s sovereign. But we have to partner with heaven and begin to hear from heaven and once we hear from heaven we can release it through our mouths!
AUDIENCE: Hallelujah!
HAKEEM: We can release heavenly decrees if we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus that means that we can be seated right here, those who are watching in your living room, those who are watching you can be seated in this dimension and can ascend to the heavenly places because we are seated there with Christ! Once we know and have that revelation by faith that we are seated, that means that we have the best of two worlds! We can be in this dimension and ascend and sit on papa’s lap and He can show us the blueprint of our lives. He can show us what is ahead. That’s where God is going to begin I believe is going to open up our prophetic senses, allow us to see into the heavenly realm. We’re going to begin not only to see. Even Jesus said I say what I hear the Father saying. He said I do what I see Him doing. This is a principle not for those in the first century. This is a New Testament truth and revelation that you as believers can see in the heavenly realm and see what the Father is doing. In other words there is a blueprint, there is a template for your life that God wants you to get a glimpse of. No longer our prophecies or no longer our dreams will be dreams, no longer they will be a type and a shadow but we will live in the reality of it! We will become our prophecy. We will manifest. Jesus was the, He came in the volume of the book that was written of Him. Right?
AUDIENCE: Yeah.
